Homeschooling Is Life! - It's a dark day in blogging history....

• Dec. 7, 2006 - It's a dark day in blogging history....

I just stumbled across it because I haven't been checking my rss feeds this week.....just too busy with a birthday, and holiday preparations, and cleaning, and homeschooling :)

What am I referring to? Spunkyhomeschool is retiring. I am so sad......sniff, oh man, now I can't see because the tears are making my mascara run......

Seriously, she's been a light house in the blogosphere, and I will miss her! Her contributions have been above and beyond; timely, informative, clear and sound! May the Lord continue to Bless you, Spunky, and your family for years to come!

Thinking about what Christmas means?

Don't forget to bless someone this month who might really need a boost. Here is an opportunity for you to do just that. See this previous post.

I read a quote today by Corrie ten Boom today that said " You are either a missionary or a mission field." Wow, think about that! Especially this time of the year.....when the doors are open wider than usual. I pray that we will all celebrate the Savior, and tell somebody!

Hey, today was somebody special's birthday. You can stop by his blog and wish him well, if you would like! He would be thrilled.

Well, it's late and it has been a really wonderful start to a wonderful month. I better get off here, but I did want to say that we went and heard a wonderful choir and orchestra perform Handel's Messiah this last week. I sat there in awe, and just drank in the beauty and power of it. If you get a chance to take your kids to hear it this year, do go! First look it up though, and tell them how it came about. It is a powerful story of God's hand, not only in the making of the music, but the story of our redemption within the music. If you go, just close your eyes and feel the music. Drink it all in.....it is amazing!!!!

God is amazing,

Blessings!!

Corrie Ten boom's quote is amazing.....as is she. The Hiding Place was one of the best books I've ever read. No doubt you agree.

About Me

Hi There!

Welcome to my blog.
How nice of you to drop in. What is this all about you say? Well, take a look and see.

Just like the plants springing forth we are following the Son, soaking up the living water and pulling the weeds. We can't wait to see what will bloom THIS growing season!

Oh, and just for fun, I will tell you a little about me, since that is what this space is for. :)

I am a mother of four lovely kids who are perfectly human in every way. They are sinful, selfish, loving, happy, grumpy, excited, capable, frustratable, (I know, that isn't a word but sometimes I make up my own) and sometimes contrite, and just like their parents. But they are ours and we think they are all keepers!

We have homeschooled them all since birth with the trial and error method. I think they all have "made the grade" and they are now 16, 13, 11 and 9 years old.

We're not experts, except in the area of making mistakes and living to tell about them and hopefully learn from them! We hope you will find some encouragement here as you read about the seasons of our life as a homeschooling family.
